Also keep in mind this will ONLY work if the entire book is in a single (x)html file. As soon as you have multiples.... it will reset within each file.

I seriously hope that this is a VERY short book. ;-) I get the squishies thinking about how this will work if it's a really long, dense, single-file ePUB/MOBI. FWIW.
Yea, unfortunately the book that I was trying to cleanup and to fix the formatting on (which I hoped to use non-resetting numbering in) is structured with each chapter in a seperate file.

So the technique works well on the single file epubs but not on the multi-file ones (where it would really make life easier) ... darn. That also explains the situation I was seeing with a larger multi-html file test also

Still, there's going to be times when the technique is useful and will save me some grunt work
